The Book of Appreciation

There is no need to be afraid of the wind and drizzle, there are only three people who are not teachers or friends!Wu Di only felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, which was very different from Tianshu!He glanced at the old monk who was smiling but not smiling, and took the bamboo stick from the dumbfounded Meng Yao.Is this a coincidence, or is there really such a fortune?

In the upper left corner of the bamboo stick, there are three words "Shangshangsign" written on it.Although Wu Di didn't know how many sticks were drawn in the lottery tube, it must not be too many, because he had never drawn one before.However, even if all of them were signed, there might not even be one such lottery, it was simply specially prepared for the three of them!

"Little friend's misfortune is over, and from now on, I will be happy and happy!"

The old monk's words made Wu Di no longer suspicious, and he gave him a deep salute. After getting up, the old monk returned the salute, dropped the lottery tube, and drifted away.

Wu Di looked at the two girls who were still in a daze, and ignored them. He saw a little novice not far away who was cleaning. He ran over in a few steps, clasped his palms together, and asked:

"Excuse me, little master, the master just now..."

"Oh, you mean Master Jueyuan, he is our host master. You are very lucky, he has not released a lottery for many years, I heard that he came out a few months ago, and this time Yes, his lot is very effective."

Wu Di didn't care about where it was, and secretly called out to buy cakes, a few months ago?This old monk is here for him!As for what the reason is, needless to say?There was a trace of fear in his heart, and then he was relieved. The old monk did not have any malice towards him, but, how many strange people and strange things will there be in this world?

Wu Di was thinking and walked back to the place where he asked for a lottery. Meng Yao, who was sober, grabbed him and said:

"Adi, what I was looking for just now was marriage..."

Wu Di touched her nervous little face, and comforted her:

"Master is a strange person, let's give more incense money when we fulfill the wish later."

Wen Lan glanced at the two of them speechlessly. Could it be that their encounter with Wu Di was destined?If you look into this lottery, not to mention the current relationship, even the place where they met for the first time, is it so scary?

The three of them lingered in the temple for a day, worshiping at every hall. In front of Arhat Bodhisattvas, big and small, Meng Yao kowtowed countless times. If it wasn't for going to this place a few months ago to ask for an amulet, the consequences would be unimaginable. !

Wu Di asked the robot cat to go to the bank to withdraw 30 yuan, and enshrined it to the Bodhisattva in the name of three people before leaving with the two daughters.I met an expert in the Potala Palace, and there is actually a hidden person here. It seems that even if you have a heavenly book, you can't be arrogant!

It's the end of the year, and every company is quite busy, especially the finances, so Wen Lan and Meng Yao started to go to work honestly from the next day.Wu Di also calmed down and went to visit the second senior brother. He hadn't seen each other since Myanmar, and it had been more than a month. Anyway, he was still his boss in name!

Song Hongyan was still the same, seeing Wu Di smiling, the younger brother's gunshot wound could be hidden from others, but not from him.But this kid's luck is really shocking. Not only did he survive from being shot in the chest, but he also took the opportunity to get rid of the two girls.Everyone else had the red flags at home, and the colorful flags fluttered outside. This guy actually put up the colorful flags at home, which made him not know what to say.

Wu Di brought over a few pieces of jewelry from the Royal Lake in Yangon. After being processed by Hu Zili and others, only 30.00% of that batch of jewelry was destroyed, and there were more than 200 pieces left.Wu Di planned to buy some from the second senior brother, and then send some to Wen Yaru for consignment.It's not for money, it's really useless if there are too many of them, and you have to worry about maintaining them, so it's better to use them to deepen your friendship.

After chatting a few words, Wu Di left and went to Mr. Tang's place. Jiang Jialang finally completed the carving of Tian Huangshi. According to him, it was a bold attempt to combine ancient and modern times. He also asked for his opinion on what kind of competition he planned to send to Hong Kong.Wu Di smiled wryly when he heard it, and using this thing to participate in the competition, is it obvious that he is bullying?Not to mention the quality of the carving, but this material is invincible as if he was there in person!

I haven't seen him for a few months, Jiang Jialang has lost some weight, Wu Di looked at his thin chin and teased:

"Brother Lang, I haven't seen you in the past few months. Who is it for to make you feel so haggard?"

Jiang Jialang gouged him out with resentment, and said:

"It's not exploited by you, a capitalist!"

"It's not enough, isn't it just carving a piece of Tianhuang? Besides, I didn't rush you, you don't have to rush to work if you are tired."

"Bah! Didn't you rush me? That Mr. Hu of your family has been tempting me with some good materials every day! Let me calculate, I have made nearly ten works just for you Lanmeng in the past few months? How dare you? Are you saying that you did not instigate it behind your back?"

"Ten works? Ten works have been completed in a few months, and you are ashamed to be tired! Those bracelets, pendants, etc., you can produce several in a day, okay?"

Jiang Jialang was dumbfounded by Wu Di's words, and then looked like he was speechless asking the sky, and angrily ignored him.Elder Tang looked at the bewildered Wu Di and said with a smile:

"Xiao Wu, this is like a mountain. The ten things Jia Lang said are not the ten things you said. Come, let me show you the photos."

"This one is called Butterfly Lovers, and it's carved out of a piece of yellow, green, and colorless glass. Look at the grass, the yellow butterfly, and every knife, all of which are the painstaking efforts of us sculptors. Don't underestimate this jade plaque, it's called Fengxue Yeguiren, and the use of the color of this jade has almost reached the extreme. No matter which competition this work is put in, it will not fall out of the top few. And this The piece is made of leather, how about it? It’s lifelike, right?”

Wu Di looked at each photo and was almost stunned. For a long time, in terms of jade wares, he had neglected a major item, that is, ornaments.In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because he always only focuses on the glass species, and the glass species are generally relatively small, but even if there are large ones, how many people are willing to use them to make a piece of material compared to jewelry? , can almost be called a luxury decoration?

"The real test of a jade carver's level is to look at these ornaments. Except for your ordinary bracelets and jade pendants, Jia Lang seldom sells them. But thank you, Xiaowu, just these few works have laid the foundation The foundation of the masters of the Jialang Northern School, if not for your continuous supply of materials, this process would have been delayed for several years!"

Wu Di shook his head, you Hu Zili, you actually ambushed him here, aren't you afraid that your boss will trouble him?

In fact, he didn't know that Hu Zili was definitely wronged this time.As far as Lanmeng's current sales channels are concerned, the market for high-end accessories is basically close to saturation, but he gambled back a large amount of high-end wool, which made Lanmeng owe a huge debt. As Lanmeng's trader, Hu Zili naturally had to find a way to digest this huge pressure.Besides, who would have thought that a top stone betting master would make the mistake of ignoring the big item of jade ornaments?

Hu Zili took away all the completed jade ornaments, and Jiang Jialang only had one piece of Tianhuang stone carving left.However, when Wu Di saw this stone carving, the shock in his heart was beyond words. Can Tian Huang also carve like this?

On the Tian Huangshi, which looks like a hill that has shrunk countless times, every inch of space has been utilized to the extreme.Jiang Jialang did not choose those traditional themes such as step by step promotion, three-star celebration of birthday, song and crane prolonging the year, but cleverly used the shape of this stone, and carved three temples on it, either vicissitudes, simple, or flying. .Either narrow stone steps, or wide roads, or tourists, or monks, or walking, or driving, the modern atmosphere and the vicissitudes of the ancient temples in the mountains are perfectly blended together by him.

"Buddha into the world of mortals? Terrible, terrible, this is the first time I've seen someone carve fields like this, incredible!"

The more Wu Di looks at it, the more he loves it. The relatively single color of the best Tian Huang Dong, the shadow created by Jiang Jialang's delicate knife skills, abruptly depicts several colors, especially the dilapidated small temple on the far left. , so that Wu Di had an urge to worship, what kind of skill is this?

The disappointment in Tang Lao's eyes flashed away, and he said with a smile:

"Don't talk about you, even when I saw this work for the first time, I was deeply shocked. The blue is better than the blue, and Jialang is a well-deserved leader of the Northern School with this work! Ashamed, Ashamed, I, Tang Yanshu, have never handed over such a masterpiece in my entire life!"

"Hehe, master, you are really humble. If it weren't for your old advice, how could I complete this sculpture? Brother Xiaowu, brother, I really want to thank you this time. Without this piece of top-quality material, no matter how good it is Knife skills, even the best ideas, are rootless water, duckweed in the water!"

"Water without roots? Duckweed in the water?"

Wu Di lightly stroked the uneven stone surface, repeating these two words blankly.He obtained this stone by cheating, but Jiang Jialang gave life to this stone with his real strength. From this work, it can be seen how much effort he has put in to get to this point!But what about him?In the past six months, he has taken too many shortcuts!Take too many loopholes!It takes half a year to complete the original accumulation that others may not be able to complete in more than ten or twenty years. From one perspective, it is a good thing, but from another perspective, it may not be a blessing.Now all of this is based on his possession of the heavenly book. This foundation can be said to be strong, but it is also just as ethereal as water without roots.So next, shouldn't he go back and make up for the foundation that he has completely neglected?

Leaving Mr. Tang's yard, Wu Di drove to Panjiayuan. Knowing that he was coming, Wen Yaru called Fatty Qian to join him. At the moment, the two were drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

Wu Di handed some silver tableware and jewelry to Wen Yaru for safekeeping, looked at Fatty Qian and said with a smile:

"Brother fat, are you a bear? Why do you get fatter in winter? Eat less, and you won't even be able to gamble with stones after eating!"

"Hehe, Brother Fat's body is a treasure. If I reduce to Brother Wen's size one day, will I still have my name in this market? By the way, Xiao Wu, I'm here to ask for my punishment this time! You boy It’s really unreal, I played my old brother hard in Myanmar, tell me, how are you going to compensate me?” (To be continued.)
